Greitens has $1.1M for potential Missouri governor's race

JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - Former Navy officer Eric Greitens (GRY'-tens) says he has amassed more than $1.1 million as he prepares for a potential run for Missouri governor.

Greitens says his exploratory committee received nearly $792,000 in contributions during the past three months. He spent about $113,000 and had more than $1.1 million in his account when combined with previous contributions.

Greitens is a Republican and former Navy SEAL from St. Louis who founded The Mission Continues, a nonprofit group that helps veterans returning home from duty.
